I took students of the Iris Murdoch Society for a walk in Oxford and we arrived at St Anne's College, where' a sudden fox peers with his brilliant face, and passes.' A memorable moment and it made me think of giving attention to what is around us

Despite drawbacks, several good points here: (1) Dundee University is genuinely fighting for its life; (2) some uni management teams in some unis are out of control; (3) the multiple UK govts don't even have a clue what's going on, no controls and no plan... (1/2) www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

Does anyone really believe that a university management team anywhere either should or could be asked to do this, esp when the uni has gone bust and everyone is looking for a new job? Of course they won't be able to, the whole thing will just cascade and students will be left with nothing. (1/2)

So, Labour's budget was redistributive, which was right. But why not a wealth tax, which would not impact directly upon jobs and prices. Let's have a plan for growth that extends to investing in skills, in FE and HE, and in a range of subjects including arts, where the UK has strengths.

A great song, and characteristically distinct and individual. Multiple perspectives are assumed and the cold shocking nature of the assassination, and subsequent cultural failure are set against stirring forms of artistic achievement

Dartmoor's wooded rivers take on an otherworldly quality at this time of year. Inky mirrors to a newly revealed sky. Granite banks adorned with fallen leaves, others suspended in the current like copper coins.

An upper course river which has cut through granite rising two to three metres either side. The water is peaty and dark. Banks are covered in bronze beach and hazel leaves.
